Wall Street Journal / Nov 2012

This was a quick and cheerful one. Thanks to AD Forest Evashevski!

Merrill Markoe Book Cover

The brilliant Chelsea Cardinal designed the cover for Merrill Markoe's Cool, Calm and Contentious (Random House) and tapped me to draw a little portrait to finish it off. There is an alternate cover for this book, but I was able to find this one at my local Barnes and Noble. Thrilling!

Album Art / Scars and Scarves

Garrett and Annalea Sordi McClure's lovely jams were easy to design for. I used Chimes at Midnight's dreamy repetition as a starting point for the visuals. Listen to Scars & Scarves here.

LA Magazine / July 2012

Its been a fantastic year (for work). I'm trying to catch up on my posts to let y'all know what I've been up to! This bunch of boozy beauts was for LA Magazine from back in July - much thanks to AD Byron Regej!

The Morning News / August

Back on August, I had the privilege of illustrating Jason Albert's fantastic story Down and Out In a Repurposed Troop Carrier for The Morning News (AD Rosecranz Baldwin). The narrative is spun around the amusement parks and circuses that make up the Wisconsin Dells so I went for a theme-park-map vibe. Its a great read - check it out!

Houses for Married People

Its been a while since my last posting. Sigh. More updates to come (I promise). In the meantime, I thought I'd toss up a recent job I did for a lovely lady and fellow designer. She wanted illustrations of her and her fiance's childhood houses as a gift for the parents. Throw in a couple family dogs and you've got a party!

PLANSPONSOR / July 2012

Mermaids! Worked again with fantastic AD SooJin Buzelli on this illustration about luring and incentives.

PLANSPONSOR Europe / Summer 2012

I was thrilled to work with AD SooJin Buzelli for PLANSPONSOR and PLANSPONSOR Europe recently. This piece accompanied an article about choosing the right partner/manager.

The Morning News / May

I love doing illustrations for the folks at The Morning News. This one (from back in May) is about a marriage and family therapist's writings on her work, rebellion and subsequent change in her practice. Great piece - read it here, y'all!

Jet Magazine

Worked again with AD Andre Jointe - this time for Jet Magazine for a piece about women in Hollywood. I need to see this sign in person someday...

June/July Bust Magazine

Worked with lovely AD Lan Truong on this little one about the complicated feelings African-American women have about their natural hair texture. I've loved this magazine for a long time and was thrilled to be asked to contribute.

Food and Wine Magazine

Here's a fun one about old beer in Food and Wine Magazine. Good times with AD James Maikowski. Read the whole article here.
